The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived by Taylor Swift x The Six Wives of Henry VIII

Anne Boleyn's prayer book

Okay, hear me out:

A teen girl who has had multiple experiences with sa and abuse coming from older men who she trusted. She lashes out and acts impulsively as this is the only way she knows how to cope with her feelings and because of it is deemed stubborn, a brat and immature by people. She spends her whole life trying to cope with everything that went wrong, blaming herself and feeling worthless as no one seems to respect her enough to try and hear her side of the story. Her life is tragically cut short as she is murdered at a young age and even after death everyone who met or learned about her life insists that she is the villain of this situation and had it coming since the beginning despite only being a child.

This “character description” leads me to a very simple conclusion:

Stephanie Brown🤝Katherine Howard

Next two of Henry VIII's wives: Jane Seymour and Anne of Cleves!

Putting a little explanation for these designs under the break:

Both of these women were painted by Hans Holbien, and their portraits by that artist played a pretty vital role in how I wanted to depict these women. For Jane, I decided to stick as close as I could, because I think Jane gets the most artistic interpretation than any of the other wives. She's a blank slate to a lot of directors in Tudor adaptations. This is brought on by the very scant records we have of what she was really like in life. We do know she loved quail while she was pregnant, and encouraged Henry to treat his daughter Mary better, which ultimately ended in her being welcomed back at court. Her family has kept samples of her embroidery through history, so it's fun to imagine her working on something in between breaks for her portrait.

For Anne, I went the complete opposite. Her Holbien portrait is extremely famous, but I feel like it creates the misconception that Anne never changed during the rest of her life in England. The portrait also has been used to cast doubts on her appearance (and whether or not her looks are exagerrated). In reality, Anne was dressed in typical English court digs when she arrived in England, and was noted to be very pretty. It wasn't until after Henry cast doubts on her appearrance, and even her chastity, in order to get out of the marriage as quickly as possible. I wanted to give these back to her, as white symbolised purity and chastity in this period. Anne lived a good life as Henry's sister, and outlived all the other of Henry's wives. She was known for being kind to her staff, and loving to pair cards with a good drink.

right where you left me is so number one coded. no im not talking about “the 1” from folklore. im talking bout PEOPLE who are the first. the oldest sibling in the family. someone’s first love. u peak early and then watch as everyone else has all the moments u used to have, the moments u were supposed to have. u watch everything that u believed was always meant to be urs, that u worked so hard for, fall into the hands of everyone else. u watch ur day come and go. this is about catherine of aragon and luther hargreeves btw. taylor swift wrote right where you left me for them she told me.
